How to Use:

Paste your text containing HTML or special characters into the input box on the left. The tool encodes symbols like <, >, &, ” and ‘ into their corresponding HTML entities. The output appears instantly in the right-hand box. You can also import files like .txt, .html, or .md, and use the export or copy buttons to save the result. A character counter updates live.

What the HTML-encode Text Tool can do:

This tool replaces unsafe or structural characters in text with HTML-safe equivalents like <, >, and &. It’s ideal for preparing content for display inside HTML, JavaScript, or CMS editors. All processing happens in your browser.

Example:

Before:

<div class="highlight">Encode this & that</div>

After:

&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;Encode this &amp; that&lt;/div&gt;

Common Use Cases:

Perfect for writing or displaying HTML code in blogs, escaping pasted content in editors, or protecting user input in web forms. It’s a must-have tool for developers, writers, and anyone working with HTML.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

If you’re HTML-encoding, you’ll probably need HTML-decode Text at some point too especially when reversing user input or displaying raw data. And for cleaning things before encoding, Remove Quotes from Text helps avoid accidental breakage.
